You shouldn't respect Cuban for shit. The dude happened to be the beneficiary of the most one sided deal of the entire dot com era. If that didn't happen he would still be a successful dude in the tech space but just one of many with a small fortune and a successful reselling business or some other thing.

It isn't like he's some industry luminary.

The White House also had pro-Palestine supporters breach the security fence this past weekend. And the usual suspects are calling it a "protest" much like the BLM "protest" in 2020 that resulted in the Secret Service sending the First Family to the White House bunker.

Late, but this protest picture got to me.

If only Obama was president right now...

I feel bad for the average person that has no say of what gets mandated or enforced. ESG metrics and cultism mainly affects the lower class worker to where their job is essential to make a living or to pursue a career. Morale tanks when you're expected to walk on eggshells, while entitlement seeps into worker culture .

Example: Netflix slowly but surely phased out of "woke" entertainment when Dave Chapelle had his comedy routine show. Those "protesters" outside picketing Netflix in favor of trans representation were instantly ousted from their "saviors" when they proved themselves to be nuisances. Remember that whole "green energy" pull for companies to be more "environmentally friendly?" How did that work out long term?

Oh goes without saying that you gotta feel for the corporate cogs trying to keep the owners happy. I know a woman in one of the more sane businesses and even she has gripes with minority hires who are either too lazy to do their job or simply aren’t qualified. Any big corporation on the Nasdaq probably has some ridiculous Human Resources dullard making bad hires.

Yeah I mistyped that post a bit what I respect Cuban for was pulling off the Steal of the Century on Yahoo. I think 2nd place for great swindles was MySpace’s Tom Anderson selling out right before Facebook completely obliterated that trashy site.

There’s nothing funnier than some high and mighty corporation buying a box of sand.

Right this will be a Trust Me Bro so I can already sense @Lorne Armstrong rolling his eyes hard enough to generate electricity. But, from what I have heard, his personal SS detail has been -gutted- to only include True Believers. Anyone else was deemed an internal ideological security threat due to the possibility of leaks. And all their ingoing and outgoing communications are being monitored in real time just in case. You'll notice a few times his personal agents have been replaced, those are allegedly due to 'leaks' to family about Biden's condition.

Fundamentally this is why immoral leaders tend not to last too long. They can't have people of moral value looking out for them as they know once they start touching a kid that person is gonna frag em. They also can't trust similarly immoral people because... well.. they're immoral and would sell them out in a heartbeat. It is hilarious that the biden admin is watching the SS harder than the SS is watching biden.

The tally for possible VPs:
Michael Flynn
Ben Carson
Kari Lake
Doug Burgum
Tulsi Gabbard

Ranked by likelihood. Probably not Gabbard. But people mention her.

Gabbard and Lake have the best content potential. Flynn you would think but the media will just blandly lie about him. They will display their overt racism against Carson.

I think Flynn has a shot. Army General. Would be the first military personnel in the WH since Ike. Regardless of who Trump chooses, they're gonna get slandered by the MSM. I don't think Tulsi has a chance. Too woke for MAGA. A former military person, sure. Not as woke as the far left. But still holds those beliefs.

A millitary guy would make sense. Unlike Harris, Trump would expect his vice president to be something more then a pretty face, and would need his vp to be able to wrangle people that do not want to be wrangled. A millitary guy would be able to know exactly when the millitary is trying to screw Trump over and call them out in the act. Last time Trump tried to play nice with the other departments of the government but this time he has to be on a war footing.

so, let me get this straight - the turnout for the Iowa caucus was apparently the lowest it's been in over 2 decades -

and yet, not only did Trump beat the RINOs, he beat them resoundingly

Mr. Trump's Wild Ride is off to a great start

Does highlight the dangers of overconfidence, though. People were so certain that it would be Trump they just didn't bother to turn out and make sure. This better not hold for the actual elections because he's going to need to win by a resounding margin to prevent people trying to contest it.

Flynn’s name is tainted because he was really crucified as a “Russian asset.”

I’m betting it will be Carson. Like now he’s just coming back on tv after being away for 4 years.
